Fed Holds Rates in First Decision Under New Chair Warsh / 美联储新主席沃什任内首次议息维持利率不变
The Federal Reserve left interest rates on hold, its first decision under Kevin Warsh as chairman. With inflationary pressure on the rise, the Fed abandoned the trajectory it maintained at previous meetings towards an easing of monetary policy. No one on the policy committee voted for a rate cut. In an indication of the start of the Warsh era, the central bank's statement was very short, asserting that it would deliver price stability.
美联储维持利率不变,这是凯文·沃什担任主席期间的首次决策。随着通胀压力上升,美联储放弃了此前会议中维持的货币政策宽松路径。政策委员会上没有人投票支持降息。作为沃什领导的美联储时代的开端标志,央行的声明非常简短,仅表示将实现价格稳定。
Bank of Japan Raises Rate to Highest Since 1995 / 日本央行加息至1995年以来最高水平
The Bank of Japan lifted its key interest rate from 0.75% to 1%, taking it to its highest level since 1995. After two decades of deflation consumer prices in Japan rose steadily after the pandemic. The annual inflation rate has been well under 2% this year, but higher energy prices as a result of the Iran conflict are driving up costs. Wholesale inflation soared in April and in May, to 6.3%.
日本银行将主要利率从0.75%上调至1%,达到自1995年以来的最高水平。在经历了二十年的通缩之后,日本的消费者价格在疫情后持续上涨。今年的年通胀率一直低于2%,但由于伊朗冲突导致能源价格上涨,生活成本正在上升。4月和5月,批发物价上涨迅猛,达到6.3%。
Trump Administration Imposes Export Controls on Anthropic's AI / 特朗普政府对Anthropic最先进AI实施出口管制
The Trump administration imposed export controls on Anthropic's most advanced AI, ordering the firm to block non-Americans from accessing its latest Fable and Mythos models. The government issued the decree apparently after Andy Jassy, the boss of Amazon, alerted officials to a "jailbreak" his researchers had found in Fable that bypasses safety protocols. Lacking the ability to distinguish between citizen and non-citizen users, Anthropic suspended access to Fable everywhere, even internally. The government's decree underlined America's control of AI frontier technology, and heightened angst among America's allies about how far they lag behind the US.
特朗普政府对Anthropic最先进的人工智能实施了出口管制,下令该公司阻止非美国公民访问其最新的Fable和Mythos模型。政府发布该法令,显然是因为亚马逊公司首席执行官安迪·贾西向官员通报了其研究人员在Fable中发现的"越狱"行为,该行为绕过了安全协议。由于无法区分公民用户和非公民用户,Anthropic已在所有地方暂停了对Fable的访问权限,包括内部系统。政府的法令强调了美国对人工智能前沿技术的掌控,加剧了美国盟友对自身与美国差距之大的焦虑。
European Parliament Approves Trade Deal with US / 欧洲议会批准与美国的贸易协议
The European Parliament approved the trade deal with America that was agreed to in principle last year. European legislators postponed previous votes on the pact because of rows with the Trump administration over Greenland and the uncertainty caused by the Supreme Court's reversal of Donald Trump's tariffs. Mr Trump had threatened to increase duties on imports of European cars unless the parliament approved the agreement by July 4th.
欧洲议会已批准了去年在原则上与美国达成的贸易协议。欧洲立法机构因与特朗普政府在格陵兰问题上的分歧,以及最高法院推翻唐纳德·特朗普关税所引发的不确定性,推迟了此前对该协议的投票。特朗普曾威胁,除非议会于7月4日前批准该协议,否则将提高对欧洲汽车的进口关税。
SpaceX IPO Smashes World Record; Musk's Wealth Hits $1.3trn / SpaceX上市创全球最大IPO纪录,马斯克财富达1.3万亿美元
The share price of SpaceX soared by 50% in the days following its initial public offering, lifting it to a market valuation of almost $2.7trn and challenging Amazon for the spot of world's fifth-biggest listed company (behind Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple and Microsoft). The company raised $85.7bn on its first day of trading once underwriters bought additional shares, smashing the record for the world's largest-ever IPO. Elon Musk's personal wealth has jumped to $1.3trn according to Bloomberg. Even if that was reduced by $1trn he would still be the world's richest person.
SpaceX在首次公开募股后的几天内股价飙升50%,市值升至近2.7万亿美元,挑战亚马逊成为全球第五大上市公司(仅次于英伟达、谷歌、苹果和微软)。该公司在首次交易日通过承销商购买额外股份,筹集了857亿美元,创下全球有史以来最大规模IPO的纪录。据彭博社报道,埃隆·马斯克的个人财富已跃升至1.3万亿美元。即使减少一万亿美元,他仍然会是世界上最富有的人。
